Aloha Chicken Breed Standard

I've needed to create a "breed standard" for ages now, but recently, a pair of Alohas were hatched that actually meet the breed standard, which certainly helps! 

Here's the duo, a rooster and hen owned by a friend located near San Antonio, TX.  The hen is 5+ pounds, the rooster 8+ pounds, and he stands about 26" tall.  While I have had Alohas that looked like this in the past, I have never had a pair that looked like this AND had the larger size that I've been breeding for.

Currently, she's trying to hatch as many chicks as she can from this amazing pair, to increase the flock size and attempt to "clone" this duo.  The owner is offering chicks and hatching eggs for sale, by the way, so if there is anyone looking to become a breeder here is another source.  (She is not shipping, at this time, this is in-person pick up only.)

I have created a "breed standard" document to help clarify the Aloha program final goals, and if you like, you can read it here.  Just copy and paste the link below!  It will take you to a detailed Google document with lots of pictures and info for potential breeders.

Also, a reminder that there is a breeder outside of Little Rock, AR who has hatching eggs and sometimes chicks available.  She also does not ship.  Local pick up only.

Two other local breeders are upcoming, one in MN and another in Wichita, KS.  The earliest that I think we'll see any hatching eggs available would be Fall of 2019.  From what I have heard, these breeders also would be primarily selling locally.

There are also a couple of existing breeders in Oregon, and now I'm setting up new breeders in Northern AZ and more recently Durango, CO.  However, from what I understand, none of these new breeders have any plans of shipping live chicks or hatching eggs. 

There is still a lot of interest in shipped chicks or eggs, but the Phoenix heat makes this difficult for me to ship out of state, so there is still a huge demand for someone in a cooler climate who is interested in raising Alohas specifically for shipped eggs or shipped chicks.  Hoping to find someone who can be a source for buyers. 

Right now I'm only supplying shipped Live chicks to approved new breeders, and I am only able to ship a few boxes out each year (a few in the Spring and maybe a couple in the Fall) because the heat in the summer months.  In person sales of hatching eggs or live chicks available to anyone, but it's local pick up only in Phoenix.
